Winter at the Stedelijk
Spectacular, immersive, intimate
This winter, the Stedelijk presents a rich mix of art forms within which all galleries are filled: from photography and installations to textiles, expressive painting, and sculptures. Discover groundbreaking stories in a variety of temporary exhibitions, collection displays, In situ works, and the Don Quixote Sculpture Hall.
Unravel - The Power and Politics of Textiles in Art
Textiles are an important part of our daily lives. We use it, feel it, see it and touch it constantly. No other medium is so personal and intimate. This makes textiles ideally suited to depict important themes in our lives, such as love, work, pain and happiness, struggle and resilience.
'This is the textile exhibition we've all been waiting for' – ★★★★★ De Volkskrant
Miriam Cahn - Reading Dust
Immerse yourself in the force of Miriam Cahn's artworks, in which abstract forms and intense colors come together. Her work explores what it means to be human - with all our vulnerability and strength. Miriam Cahn arouses great emotions with simple brushstrokes and a powerful drawing style. With merciless reality, her paintings and drawings show the cruelties of humanity.

Circulate - Photography Beyond Frames
For Circulate, 21 artists have been selected who use photography in diverse and innovative ways and think outside traditional frames. Their work reflects the influence of images in our lives today. Many of the works presented were created especially for this exhibition and are being shown here for the first time.
'A rich overview' – Het Parool
Collection
The Stedelijk collection brings you close to masterpieces by artists and designers such as Vincent van Gogh, Piet Mondriaan, Kazimir Malevich, Anneke van der Feer, Charley Toorop, Yayoi Kusama, Farida Sedoc and Igshaan Adams. The collection offers a fascinating journey through more than a century of art and design.
The Don Quixote Sculpture Hall
Until the turn of the century, the old sculpture garden of the Stedelijk was a beloved and much-visited spot in Amsterdam. Now, in the same spot, the entrance area of the museum contains the brand-new Sculpture Hall that was realized with the generous support of the Don Quixote Foundation. The Sculpture Hall is freely accessible to everyone during the day (also without a museum ticket).
'A great way to enhance the entrance area!' – Visitor
IN SITU #1: Nora Turato - I HEAR YOU, I HEAR YOU.
Nora Turato uses a video and sound installation to explore how we interact with language and how language affects our identity and way of communicating. Turato collects texts from seemingly banal sources: emails and WhatsApp messages, social media posts, YouTube tutorials, online lectures, museum texts, advertisements, conversations overheard in restaurants. She deconstructs this endless flow of messages and uses it to shape her own narrative.
